Douglas recorded two interceptions against New England en route to the win. One of them went down as a pick-six touchdown. Douglas was the first Bill to do that in an outing since Nickell Robey-Coleman in October 2016.
The last time a Buffalo cornerback took home the DPOTW honor was Tre’Davious White in 2019. In Week 3 of this season, linebacker Terrel Bernard took home the honor. The last overall weekly winner was running back James Cook who took home the offense award in Week 16.
